Flicco Football

Privacy

Last updated 1 November 2026

This game is made by Flicco Games Ltd (company number 17506476), First Floor, Swan Buildings, 20 Swan Street, Manchester M4 5JW, United Kingdom (“we”). We’re registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office as a data controller, registration number ZC277752. This page covers the football game at play.flicco.io. We collect as little as we can. You don’t need an account or to give us anything to play, and we never ask for your real name.

What stays on your device

The game keeps a few things in your browser: your season and how your seasons have gone, your clubs’ tactics, your best scores in training, your settings, the name you gave with feedback (so you’re not asked again), the date of your last visit (see below), whether you’ve switched off play data, and how many matches you’ve started in this tab (forgotten when you close it). Apart from that count, which goes with the play data below, none of it is sent to us as it is, and clearing your browser’s data for this site removes it.

Your account, if you make one

If you sign in with your email address, we use it to send you a sign-in code and to keep your progress with your account (your season and how your seasons have gone, your clubs’ tactics and your best scores in training), so you can carry on from another device. It’s a Flicco account: the same email signs you in to our other games too. You can sign out, or delete your account and everything kept with it, from the game at any time (the account button on the menu, then “Delete my account”). Deleting it deletes it for every Flicco game.

When you sign in there’s also a box to tick if you’d like Flicco news. It’s unticked unless you tick it, and it’s only for players 13 or over. If you tick it, we keep that you did, when, and what the box said, and add your email to Flicco’s news list, to send you news about our games now and then. Every news email tells you how to stop them, and deleting your account takes you off the list too, if you joined it here.

Anonymous play data

To see what people play and what to make better, the game sends us that it opened and, while you’re playing, a signal each minute (so we know how long people play). With it go the game’s version, whether you’re on a phone, tablet or computer, and the website that sent you here, if one did.

It carries no ID that lasts: the game makes a new random one each time it opens and keeps it only until you close the page, so one visit can’t be linked to the next and nobody has a profile. To know whether players come back, the game keeps the date of your last visit on your device and tells us only “first time”, or “back within a day, a week, a month, or longer”, and how many matches you’d already started in that tab. We don’t keep your country, your connection’s address or anything that says who you are, and it isn’t linked to your account. There are no tracking cookies, and none of it is used for advertising.

Play data from every Flicco game is kept together by Flicco Games Ltd, on our own servers at flicco.io, so we can compare our games. We keep it for up to two years.

If your browser asks sites not to track you (Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track), the game sends nothing. You can also switch it off on this device here:

Crash reports

If the game goes wrong, it sends us what went wrong (the error and where in the game’s code), the game’s version, the score and level of the match you were playing, and your kind of device, browser and screen size. To count how many people a problem affects, we keep a scrambled form of your connection’s address that can’t be turned back into it and changes every day. We keep crash reports for up to a year.

Feedback you send

When you send feedback with the speech bubble, we keep your words, the name you give if you give one (it needn’t be your real one), a picture of the game’s screen as it was when you pressed the bubble if you leave it ticked, the score and level of the match, your kind of device, browser and screen size, and how smoothly the game was running. We use it to fix and improve the game, and keep it for up to two years.

Testers (our test site)

Before a version goes out, grown-up testers we’ve invited play it on our test site, signed in with a password we give them. Signing in sets one cookie that keeps them signed in for 30 days; it holds nothing about who they are. Their play data, crash reports and feedback are kept as everyone’s are.

Who else handles data

Some of these companies may handle data outside the UK; where it does, it’s bound by the UK’s approved safeguards. We don’t sell your information, and we don’t share it with anyone else.

Why we can use it

We run your account and keep your progress with it because you ask us to, as part of the game, and send you news only if you ticked the box. Play data and crash reports are in our legitimate interest in making the game work and better: kept to what we need, with nothing that follows you from visit to visit, and you can switch play data off. Feedback is yours to send or not.

Children

Anyone can enjoy the game, children included, so it’s private by default for everyone: you don’t need an account, and there’s no chat, no advertising that follows you, no tracking from one visit to the next, no profiles, no location, and nobody’s asked for their real name. An account asks only for an email address. If you’re under 13, ask a parent or carer before signing in with one.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it or to delete it. Because play data has no ID that lasts, we can’t pick yours out of it; for your account, tell us the email you signed in with; for feedback, tell us roughly when you sent it and what it said. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
